The next time I tangle with a damn bear, I need to remember to stay further back - especially if I'm hunting with some idiot that thinks he's gonna run in and stab it with a freakin' sword. Ch'. Moron.

Suppose I just should be glad that no one got killed. Even if it means I'm laid up for a few days to rest my arm.

A bear? WHOA! You must be super strong and awesome, especially since you won and all.

[solitary_speed]

Not particularly. It's not like I wrestled it by hand or brought it down by myself, yeah?

[sleeptime_nao]

Still that's more than I've ever even attempted to try and do.

Heh, you'd be some kind of super-person if you hand-wrestled one and won!

[solitary_speed]

I suppose.

Something like that. It'd still be foolish though, especially when the bear's rabid.

[sleeptime_nao]

You faced a rabid bear? You are a super-person!

[solitary_speed]

I really don't think so... It was causing trouble for some farmers, and I was hired to help take it out.

[sleeptime_nao]

So you're a good guy who helps others and are a super-person who can take down rabid bears.

Want to be my friend? You sound like someone really awesome!

[solitary_speed]

I wouldn't have been there if they hadn't paid me to be.

Can't really say; I don't know you all that well, and you only know me from this one thing.

[sleeptime_nao]

Aww...but you still could have refused to do it even with money so that makes you nice on some level.

That's true. Guess we'll just have to get to know each other better so we can be friends!

[solitary_speed]

If I'd realized that one of the other hunters was so green, I might have refused. It would have saved me some pain and annoyances.

... Sure.

[sleeptime_nao]

But you still did it! That makes you a super-person!

Yay! I'm Jirou, by the way.

[solitary_speed]

Right...

Sure. Nice to meet you, Jirou.

[sleeptime_nao]

What? It's true~

Aww, I don't get a name for you? But I gotta have something to call you at least if we're going to be friend!

[solitary_speed]

It's just part of what I do.

I really prefer being anonymous with these quills.

[sleeptime_nao]

Which is being an awesome super-person.

Then if we met in person sometime you'd give me a name?

[solitary_speed]

Pfft.

Sure, I'll give you a name then.
